Doing an update to the original Creatures of Distant Worlds has been on my agenda since the release of MGT2e. While I have been working on it a little here and there since then, I have been hard at work on it for a few weeks and are pleased to announce that Foreven Worlds: Creatures of Distant Worlds will be released very soon. But before that happens, I just thought I would ask you Traveller fans what you would like to see inside. We do not want to miss something that you want included. Please let us know in the comments below and we will do our best to include it.

Remember to check out all of our Second Edition Mongoose Traveller offerings at DriveThruRPG.

The Gannet-class armed cargo transport flies through the blackness of space, well-armed and well-armored. This starcraft takes the hits and punches back even harder. Now your Travellers can upgrade their game in the Original Traveller Universe beyond the Imperial borders. In the Foreven Worlds, danger lurks behind every asteroid—arm yourself well and live to make a cargo run another day!

This includes a 6-page PDF with full details about the ship and 18″ x 12″ poster for you to print and hang on your wall.

It has been a very long time since we posted anything Traveller related on our website, let alone published anything. Short of the long, we are working on it. With Pathfinder ending it required us to throw out our whole schedule and quickly adjust. Fortunately we are almost done with our last 1e Pathfinder project and then we can go back to Traveller. And to show how much I love this game, I am sharing with you today a nice little spider.

Did I say nice? And little? Yea, this thing needs killed with fire. Nuke it from orbit; it is the only way to be sure.

Spiders

Description

Ranging from the tiniest of creatures to those as large as humans, spiders come in a wide variety of sizes and colors. Several have distinctive spots or designs on their bodies. They possess eight legs, a poisonous bite and compound eyes on their head. Many spiders create webs to capture and hold their prey in place while they scurry close to feed.

Combat Tactics

All spiders are aggressive predators that use their poisonous bites to subdue or kill prey. They prefer to surprise their prey and repeatedly bite until either they have eaten enough, are driven off or have made their target helpless.
Spiders come in two general types: hunters and webspinners. Hunters rove about, while web-spinners usually attempt to trap their prey in their web. Hunting spiders can spin webs to use as lairs, but cannot use their webs as weapons the way web-spinners can.

Ecology and Habitat

Universally, spiders prefer dark places with little wind or sound vibrations. Apart from that they differ greatly between individual species. Some prefer dank caves, others prefer corners in homes, while other still prefer grasslands. Wherever there is life, there are spiders. Even though spiders are more common and larger in warmer climates, they still populate colder environments.

The Dispatch Science Shuttle is a mobile laboratory. Its small size lets it be taken inside any larger, jump capable ship and transported anywhere in a quick time frame. Add it that its military sensors and onboard science lab and it is the laborary you need in the field. Top that off with the fuel process, fuel scoops and an oversized fuel tank and this ship can act as an emergency generator and refuel tender, increasing its functionality.

The Dispatch Science Shuttle was originally designed for governments to have a rapid response lab ship for disasters. When the Rowan manufacturing company started getting order for them from corporations looking for a planetary test vehicle, they knew they had a hit on their hands.

This ship appears in the upcoming third installment of the Foreven Worlds: Prelude to War Adventure Path, due out this Summer. Order your copies of the first two installments of this series of adventures today at DriveThruRPG with the Rose of Death and State of Chaos.

Previous vehicle we shared (Zargrav X-72, Zaspa T-68 Skyhopper, Cyberpuma, and Hypercycle) were not combat vehicles. Today that changes. This military walker is created by the Confederation of Worlds (Die Weltbund). Warpride and other Confederation worlds use this defensive walker to repel invaders. They travel so slow that they need airlifted to the region they are needed. Once there, they can take serious punishment from its opposition and deal incredible damage to everything in their path.

The Defense Walker is produced by the Confederation of Worlds. Warpride is in the CoW and is one of the detailed worlds in Foreven Worlds: Alespron Subsector. Download this subsector at JonBrazer.com. You can also find it at DriveThruRPG and RPGNow.

For this week’s vehicle, I bring you the Cornathian Hypercycle. Unlike previous vehicles we showed off here at JonBrazer.com (Zargrav X-72, Zaspa T-68 Skyhopper, and Cyberpuma) this isn’t a conversion from MGT 1e to 2e. This is a new vehicle we created specifically for this edition of the game.

The Hypercycle is a wheeled motorcycle for adrenaline junkies. It has the agility to weave through traffic and the raw speed to bypass everything on the road when they have the space. Not only that, it is about a third of the cost of the Imperium’s g/bike. This is a great common man’s on the border worlds.

We’re doing a series right now of converting some of our vehicles from 1st edition Mongoose Traveller to 2nd edition. Last week, we looked at the Cyberpuma. Today we take a look at the Zaspa T-68 Skyhopper

Ideal for lower tech worlds, the T-68 Skyhopper features two main rotorblades to maximize stability and minimize the safe takeoff distance. The third rotorblade controls the vehicle’s pitch, and ultimately its forward speed. With more than a ton of cargo space, the skyhopper delivers the performance needed on a lightly-populated colony world at a price those same worlds can afford.

Every Wednesday, we have a new monster here at JonBrazer.com, and we are making sure that at least one of these creatures every month is for the Traveller Roleplaying Game. Last month we had the paskrin, a creature that chews on the power cables of a ship, which everyone just LOVES!!!! Today we are taking a look at giant ants.

So many times in science fiction, we encounter creatures that are familiar and either harmless or mostly harmless that are scaled up to gigantic sizes. Suddenly those harmless creatures are anything but and it is your job to deal with them. One that just about everyone has seen before is a giant ant. Today we stat it up for you.

So exactly how big and dangerous is this this thing? With a trait of Large (+5), it is larger than an elephant but smaller than the largest whales. Think of a dinosaur. Come to think of it, these stats would be great for a dinosaur as well since it has an exoskeleton similar to those great lizards’ thick hide. So yea, building (and ship) damage is hardly out of the question for these creatures. With a nice radiation contamination, an entire colony of these gigantic creatures insects could make short work of a city, no matter what tech level.

If you want more creatures in your Traveller game, download Prelude to War: State of Chaos at DriveThruRPG or RPGNow today. This adventure has 10 new creatures ready to be used in your game.

Today sees the start of a new series. We are updating the vehicles we created for 1e Mongoose Traveller to the Second Edition. These are here for your use in your games and we hope you enjoy them.

Today we are starting with the Cyberpuma from the Massinagrav corporation. Compared to today cars, this would be a sports car. Sure, it fits four people, but those in the back are going to be a bit squished. That, however is well worth the acceleration and agility on this thing. Massinagrav, as you may guess is firmly in Zhodani space. Yet the corporation is owned by a Solomani. The planet was incorporated into the Consulate generations ago and the people there are full Zhodani citizens, even if they are not Zhodani by heritage.
